In Sunday’s contest, Liston picked up her play after junior All-America Chelsea Gray went down with a knee injury and did not return. She scored nine of Duke’s final 13 points to lead the Blue Devils to the 81-70 victory over Wake Forest. With Duke leading 69-67 with 3:07 left, she drained her fifth three-pointer of the day to put the game out of reach for the Demon Deacons.
